Special Education

Thank you for visiting us.

Our Special Education Department operates in all 11 schools in our corporation—elementary through high school—and our Developmental Preschool is housed at the White Oak Early Learning Center. We are committed to supporting all students with special needs through:

working closely with parents/guardians to understand your child's needs,
assembling individualized educational programs designed to help each student succeed to the best of their ability,
coordinating services provided by educators, therapists, instructional assistants, and school staff,
providing ongoing training and education to help educators and staff remain properly trained, and
offering guidance across the school district to ensure Avon Schools continues to excel in serving students with special needs.

In Avon, educational services are available to students eligible under the Individuals with Disabilities Education and Improvement Act (IDEIA) and Indiana's Article 7 rules. We serve students who have disabilities in the following categories:

Autism	Blind or Low Vision	Deaf-Blind
Developmental Delay	Deaf or Hard of Hearing	Emotional Disability
Language or Speech Impairment	Multiple Disabilities	Other Health Impaired
Orthopedic Impairment	Specific Learning Disability	Traumatic Brain Injury

Would your child benefit from our services?

The Special Education Department coordinates assessments to determine if children are eligible for special education and then oversees the provision of all special education and related services.
